"We just couldn't get going tonight for some reason," Belleville Mennonite coach Glenna Young said. "We had opportunities but we didn't finish."

The Trojans (2-3) head to Juniata today.

Shikellamy 1, Midd-West 0

MIDDLEBURG - With 10 minutes remaining in the game, Shikellamy's Jade Coxe scored for the Braves to down Midd-West, 1-0, in Heartland Conference field hockey action Thursday.

The two teams played the first 50 minutes without either finding the cage. And although Shikellamy outshot Midd-West 9-1, the Mustangs were in it until the end.

"It's not that our defense played poorly," Midd-West coach Mandi Romig said. "We did all we could for as long as we could."

The deciding goal came when Shikellamy had numerous corner chances. The Mustangs weren't able to clear the ball and preserve the game.

"In the first half we would be able to clear it out," Romig said. "We just couldn't do that in the second half."

Midd-West (3-4, 1-3 HAC) hosts Millville today.

East Juniata 1, Newport 0

NEWPORT - Megan Hart had two chances on penalty strokes and converted one of them, the only goal in a close Tri-Valley League game against Newport that East Juniata won, 1-0.

"Early in the game, we earned a stroke. Megan took it and missed," East Juniata coach Billie Haines explained. "At the time out she said, 'I wish I could do that again and score.' Toward the end of the first half, her wish came true."

Haines said her team played their best game of the week, playing as a team to move the ball more effectively.

"The girls did so many things right. I feel like the girls finally understand where they are supposed to be on the field," she said. "We had many chances to score tonight."

The Tigers (3-3, 3-2) travel to Belleville Mennonite Monday.

Greenwood 3, Line Mountain 0

MILLERSTOWN - Greenwood only got seven shots on goal against Line Mountain Thursday in field hockey action.

But the Wildcats were able to put three of those in the cage to secure a 3-0 Tri-Valley League win over the Eagles.

Brittany Fleisher had a pair of goals for Greenwood - one in the first half and one in the second. Hattie Kuhns notched a goal for the Wildcats in the second half.

"We really just stayed after it in the circle," Greenwood coach Kent Houser said. "In the second half we did a much better job defensively.

"Line Mountain is a good team and I was thrilled with our effort today."

"We lost two in a row which hasn't happened to us in a long time," Trojans coach Tessa McCormick said. "It was nice to get some confidence back."

Kristen Miles delivered 17 of the team's 26 service points. Abi Grove had seven kills in the winning effort, in which most of the points came from floor play, McCormick said.

"A lot of it was serving," she noted.

Mount Union also won the JV match, 2-0.

The Trojans (4-3, 2-2) head to the Bellwood-Antis tournament Saturday, a good opportunity, the coach said, to face some of the teams they've struggled against, and a chance to try out new combinations from the bench while gaining experience.

Chambersburg 3, Mifflin County 0

LEWISTOWN - Mifflin County failed to score more than 15 points in any game Thursday against Chambersburg in a 3-0 Commonwealth Division loss.

In the first game, Mifflin County fell by a score of 25-15. The second game went by a score of 25-14 and the third game was 25-13.
